Item descriptions says no parabens, but some of you list methylparaben & propylparaben as ingredients. Does it contain parabens? Parabens are terrible

You are correct~ Parabens are Parabens. Paraben is a chemical that is not good. But, I did notice after 3 months the mascara needs to be replaced more so than other mascaras I have tried. This one allows me to wash it off and does not run on my face. It's the only mascara that works for me and I too an concerned about chemicals.

I'm guessing that was an old formulation of the product, as I was concerned about the same issue. But on the Ecco Bella website, they do not list any parabens as ingredients. The ingredient list states: Purified water, carnauba wax, palmitic acid (from palm oil), clay, iron oxides and phenoxyethanol.

I chose this mascara because it stated "no parebens". I have to believe it has none. I really like it since it feels light and does not irritate my eyes.

Regarding the phenoxyethanol ingredient mentioned in an answer here, here is some (somewhat concerning) info: https://www.truthinaging.com/review/phenoxyethanol-is-it-safe

I don't see any of the inactive ingredients that have "...paraben" in the name. There are quite a few chemicals listed, however.

it does not list any parabens but other perservatives just as questionable:such as methylisothiazolinone

The label makes no mention of preservatives, but there is a statement "always Paraben free". I looked this up on a Google search and the explanation indicates "Parabens are the most widely used preservatives in cosmetics and personal care products". I would accept this to mean that yes indeed, this product does not include preservatives.

Hi, it says it is '100% vegan ingredients'. I notice in the ingredient list that is mentions 'methylparaben'. Methylparaben is produced naturally and found in several fruits, primarily blueberries, along with other parabens. There is controversy about whether methylparaben or propylparabens are harmful at concentrations typically used in body care or cosmetics. Methylparaben is readily absorbed through the skin and some allergic reactions have been reported. I have extremely sensitive skins and have been seeing dermatologists since I was 12. I have had no reactions to this product. (At age 61, I have also given up on dermatologists and have found one plastic surgeon who has done more with light in 5 treatments than decades of Rx from the dermatologists.) The peppermint in it gives a 'tingly/cool' reaction on the scalp. Because of my oily skins, I mainly use it on the ends and not my scalp. Good luck.

I called the company, they changed ingredients a while back and took out all parabens. It was not undated on Amazon but they are taking care of that now. Thank you for revealing this to me. But I was surprised that something that is sold in health stores was using parabens.

NO IT IS NOT! It has two types of Paraben according to the ingredient label which you can view by looking at the additional photos- there is a photo of the label showing all ingredients.

I too am concerned about ingredients, particularly the use of paraben preservatives after the '04 Japanese study showing increased aging of the skin when exposed to sunlight after a tiny amount of paraben (a preservative in most cosmetics) was included. Bare Escentuals says they are preservative free, but a list of the ingredients in Mineral Veil says that they use both Methylparaben and Propylparaben in that. Any insights?

I have looked around but can not find an ingredients list for any of your products. Can you please tell me exactly what is in your product? or send me a link? Thank you.

Sulfates, yes. Parabens, no. Methyl paraben is listed towards the end of the ingredients.

The ingredients say methylparaben and propylparaben, so I think the label is wrong! Update: Yes, I see the photo label says paraben free. I have the 4 oz. tube of the same product, and it is paraben free. Works great!

Personal choice. I have heard research that says parabens collect in our bodies and are not good for us, so when available I try to use products without parabens.

These products are all natural; There are neither paraben or alcohol listed, as ingredients. My hair is healthy and never dry from using this product.
